Thread: Gave Tabac a try. Glad I did.

I've thought about tabac a few times but haven't pulled the trigger on it. Just can't seem to get past the chance of not liking it as I see so many people say they love it or hate it. I prefer the cleaner scents. From what I've read tabac is kinda heavy on the Stetson cologne side. Is this correct?

It's been said here before that it smells "like the 70's" which I thought apt. I don't know Stetson but I like Tabac if for no other reason than it's so different from everything else I have, and it lathers very well.

My $0.02 on Tabac AS is that it is a strong fragrance, but spicy, not sweet like Stetson. Haven't tried their soap yet, trying to wait till I actually use one up that I have. It is the next one I will buy though based on the feedback that it fits perfectly in an old spice mug, and that I already love the scent.
YMMV but it's worth the risk.

I really like the performance but my better half is not fond of the smell. I just left for work this morning so it will be soap and aftershave of choice for the next three weeks. I will use her favorite scents when I return home, until then Tabac it is. I also like La Toya and Volobra soaps. Arko is an easy one too, although the scent is not wooo hooo the performance is quite reasonable.

I actually use Tabac fairly regular. it is in my top 5 it is number 5 I have others that edge it out as far as scent, I,m kinda like Rez on the wife front , so its been mostly when I worked , although I have 4 soaps I like better ,, but the lather Tabac gives you is really good , and the face likes it too,, as to the scent , well I think 70,s fits it very well , and no its not Stetson at all, mix it with the Tabac EDT and you have a very respectable shave. now as to what Mainaman said ,Saponificio Varesino,, is now my number 3,a very nice gift from Cudarunner and it is a very good soap with my MDC at the top , and Castle Forbes number 2 , and if you would like to try a soap that is not expensive and at number 4 on my list is Institute Karitte. enojoy the Tabac , if the smell isn't your cup of tea stay with it , cause it grew on me , plus the lather keeps you happy tc

I have quite sensitive skin to an unknown quantity in a number of soaps I have tried. The Tabac cream, surprisingly, does not affect me so and does provide a wonderful easy to use lather. It is therefore the cream I use daily. At some point I will branch out and try something different again, but for the past 6 months or so, Tabac has been the daily use. Add glycerine to the cream and the lather gets even better. I am assured, although I've never tried it, that the combination of Tabac soap, cream and glycerine is an even more sumptuous combination.

Tabac will always be in my rotation.
